Excerpt from The Design of Typical Steel Railway Bridges: An Elementary Course of Engineering Students and Draftsmen
At the outset, a general specification has been given govern ing the loads, unit stresses, and such other details as require the attention of the designer. This is followed by tables for the permissible unit stresses in columns, and for the rivet values used in the designs. After which, instructions have been given for constructing the moment-diagram which is employed in computing the bending moments and shears for wheel-loads. The author has found the moment-diagram to be the most satis factory method of dealing with wheel-loads, as it affords a rapid and reliable solution, and significant errors are less likely to occur with its use than with that of any form of moment table.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book offers a comprehensive guide to the design of steel railway bridges, specifically those constructed in the early 20th century. It draws upon the author's extensive experience as an assistant engineer for the Dominion Bridge Company, a leading manufacturer of steel structures. The book provides readers with a detailed understanding of the principles of structural design, specifically addressing the calculation of loads, stresses, and the selection of appropriate materials for various bridge components. The author takes a practical approach, focusing on common bridge types such as deck plate girders, Warren girders, and Pratt trusses. The book uses clear explanations and illustrative examples to guide the reader through complex calculations. The design process is presented in a step-by-step manner, beginning with a general specification outlining loads and unit stresses and progressing through detailed analyses of individual components. The text also includes estimated weight calculations for each structure, an important consideration for bridge designers. The book's emphasis on the impact of moving loads and the importance of considering centrifugal force on curves reflects the growing awareness of these factors in early 20th century bridge design. By providing practical insights into the design of steel railway bridges, the author offers a valuable resource for engineers and draftsmen who seek to understand the engineering principles behind these vital structures.
